Upgrade Time

[SDM]

The first one of you hoobs that tells me this should be in the tech forum where nobody will ever freaking see it, gets fisted with a Mizuno softball glove.

[Hezzy]

So, what do you want to upgrade?

[SDM]

So, what do you want to upgrade?Poll was slow...

I'm getting MB/Processor, and Video Card.

[Infernus]

If you have money to spend.... I reccomend a nVidia 6800 video card with a Athlon 64 3800+ or one of their even newer ones... FX I think it is...

[JetRaiden]

first person to vote Mac gets a fatal stabbing. just so you know.

[THrONeBeaST]

Mac for the win :p

[SDM]

Mac for the win :p
OMG! IP CHECK! THrONeBeaST is Disconnecting!

[Corrosion]

Is it sad that Mac is winning?

[Disconnecting]

You should upgrade to mac we all know why its winning.

OMG! IP CHECK! THrONeBeaST is Disconnecting!


You cant prove jackshit!

[Rbstr]

Gah i MENT AMD/ATI but only if you go 64bit

[Derfud]

I recommend AMD/ATi combo. It seems wo work quite well.

[Sputty]

AMD - cheaper for same power
ATi- better, plain and simple in everything but OpenGL and DX9 vertex shaders absolutely are better on ATi(hl2)

[Lonehunter]

I look at the tech forum...




still should've put it there.

[OneManArmy]

ati for the win. I'm am AMD man just because of the lower price.. but lately ive been feeling you cant go wrong with either.

I have a P41.7 and Ati 9600 right now, and I think I'm leaning twards an AMD (just for somthing different) and a 9800pro. I'm still undecided. I have a question though. Is there a point in getting a 64bit processor, when there are no 64bit programs? I mean, when a 64bit OS comes out, won't AMD have a new one that makes mine look stupid if I buy it now for no reason?

The only reason I'm upgrading is, My P4B motherboard still uses SDRAM. It won't even take DDR, and its only 4x AGP.



BTW, I hate every last one of you Mac voting mutherfuggers. I only made that option so Disconnecting wouldn't feel left out. You other fuckholes have no excuse.

[Disconnecting]

Sure they do they now understand why macs are godlike after the 3 threads I made.

Your college-ruled, calculus-metered graphing skills are unmatched...and I also think that the Clue Phone Inc. company's server runs WinXP.

[JetRaiden]

/me adds Corrosion, Dharkbayne, Hydralisk and Jaged to hit list. ;)

Disconnecting was already on it. :D

[SDM]

I'm leaning again. This time I'm leaning tward a Soyo Dragon (nForce3 chipset) and AMD 64 3000+.

I bet those nVidia fukkers hard wired those chipsets to slow down ATi cards in the AGP slot so they get shitty benchmarks <_< >_>

:love: :love: ;)

[Rbstr]

DOn't go AMD unless you go 64bit, otherwise a P4c is the way to go the much higher Memory bandwidth you get with the P4c over the reg athlon makes a difference.

[Octavian]

Yeah but you're just an Intel/NVIDIA fanboy.

I myself am going with AMD/ATI and a lot of people have recommended those companies to me.

Is the motherboard the CK8?

[Infernus]

There are cards out better then the ATI cards... sure... the X800 is good... but the 6800GT is right up to par with it... if not a little itsybit better...

[Octavian]

I'm not saying ATI is the best company, nor AMD. He should just try to have a change.

[Infernus]

nVidia/AMD for teh win...

[Octavian]

Fanboy!

AMD/ATI for teh win...

[Infernus]

whos being a fanboy... you or me?

[Octavian]

Both of us.

Damn I haven't spammed in ages.

[Infernus]

Actually no I'm not... I know next to nothing about the large majority of nVidia cards... usually I'm red with lust for ATI... but for some reason the pure green ooze is drawing me over this time...

[Octavian]

But green is so boring after a while. Red is cool and different. Go with ATI, it's all the rage these days.

[Baneblade]

I used to be an Intel/nVidia fanboy till I saw the light...and when they both started sucking.

[SDM]

I'm kinda looking at this:

eVGA nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT, 256MB GDDR3, 256-Bit.

Chipset/Core Speed: nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT/350MHz
Memory/Effective Speed: 256MB GDDR3/1GHz
BUS: AGP 4X/8X
Ports: VGA Out(15 Pin D-Sub) + TV-Out (S-Video) + DVI
Support 3D API: DirectX 9, OpenGL 1.5
Max Resolution@32bit Color: 2048X1536@60Hz
Cable/Accessories: Manual, 2x DVI to VGA Adapters, FARCRY

nVidia has sucked since they raped 3dFX, They're starting to catch back up though.
Everyone is so close right now, I honestly don't think it matters what you buy. If you spend a butt-load of money, you'll be happy.

[Octavian]

Go with it if you wish to continue buying NVIDIA products, but I recommend you try out ATI for a while.

I have a 9600xt you screwball, R E A D

[Baneblade]

Pretty bad when you gotta make your product sexually appealing...well I spose that would be to a nerd...

But SDM is immune...:lol:
